Simply Great Gifts

Gift supplied does not work and has no way to recieve technical support

I received a "promotional gift" for attending a travel seminar. The Feichu Handheld tablet that was supplied only worked a couple days. The "manual" that came with the unit gives no technical support information or contact information for the tablet manufacturer.

Comments

I was to receive an android tablet from "simply great gifts" but have yet to get any response from them. The phone number is not theirs and the email address comes back as undelivered. Im thinking that they are running a scam and I wish that I had read this comment way before my husband and I sat in on the vacation spiel.

I was also was supposed to receive an android tablet for going to the vacation seminar. I don't have a number to contact them. I send my voucher registered mail which they signed for. If anybody has a number it would appreciate it if someone would send me it.

The phone number on the Simly Great Gift cert is 888-312-6393, but it's a cheesy early 90's automated system. It does say they got mine a few days after I sent it in but it hasn't been shipped yet. The "allow 4-6 weeks for delivery" is now running 10+. I'm just glad we were really broke when we went into the Global Vacation Network lair, otherwise we may have been swayed into buying into the scam after they knocked 75% off the beginning $10, 000. But it still seemed like a lot to stay in ramdom condo's that couldn't be listed.

This is a scam promising something for nothing. If you don't buy the overpriced packages, you can't access the website or the phone number you are given to even get the supposedly cheesy tablet. The next day you get another letter from the company down the street promising the same thing. If you want legitimate values on vacations without spending thousands upfront go to www.dreamtrips.com/lmmcormick. Click option 2.

I also received an invite to listen to a 90 minute speech on how much we actually pay for vacations in a lifetime, than after i was TOLD there would be NO pressure to purchase anything to receive my "free" gifts, (which they claim are not just free, its for the time i gave them). Well, i WAS pressured not just by one person, but once you say no to him, he calls his supervisor over and tires to tells you he can authorize a discount, than when you STILL say no, yet someone else comes over and again, has a special offer, ) so sorry, but they DO try and pressure you into buying something! Needless to say I was promised a android tablet AND a trip. I was given a voucher with a certificate and pin number, the website i was told to go to was the simply great gifts.com which is where I found all the comments about this being a scam, etc... I am still going to pursue the phone number to see about the tablet and if it ever does arrive at my house.. will keep everyone posted!!!

Just got a notification in the mail from this Simply Great Gifts. Tried the phone # 888-312-6280 given in the letter advising me they would like to invite me to participate in their marketing study and promotion. It state that with my participation I will receive a FREE Android Tablet Computer. It goes on to say that once I have received the tablet and tested it they wish for me to complete a brief survey. It goes on to say that I am under no obligation to pay, purchase or subscribe to anything to receive the tablet and there is no shipping cost. It also states that the tablet is mine to keep even if I do not complete the survey. It gives a package code to use when calling in. Called early this evening and got a message to call back during their business hours. The letter shows the Sponsored by: Global Vacation Network, 2849 Executive Drive #100 Clearwater, FL 33762. The web site given to access for the terms and conditions of this offer is a blank page (www.simplygifts.com). The attached survey has a T.J. Johnson and Associates Consumer Research Division, P.O. Box 1588 Whitehouse TX 75791. I believe this is a scam but hope by providing this information it will help someone that may have misplaced the information they were given. Best of luck to all of you!

I also received a letter from Simply Greet Gifts regarding a FREE Android Tablet Computer along with the phone number 888-312-6280. The first thing that cross my mind that this is indeed a scam. We know nothing is free and there is always the risk of providing your personal information to someone you don't know. I say anyone who gets this letter my advice is to throw it away and move on,

I went & listened to the 90 min seminar which turned into 2 1/2 hrs of high pressure sales. After saying no like 100 times we finally got our certificate for our free android tablet which I then registered the certificate on their website & sent a letter to them just like they said to do but after a month of nothing in the mail I called them & the very rude lady I spoke to informed me that my gift was voided cause I didn't send a copy of my photo id which I didn't know I had to. She said there is nothing they can nor will do. I wouldn't waste my time again!

I was foolish and went to listen to the talk. First of all...this is a cheap timeshare accept that you never own anything. You need to buy a membership into their "travel agency" and then you aren't even guaranteed you can stay where you would want to. They keep pressuring you and when you told them no they kept lowering the amount they would accept. As far as the "gifts" you need to send them a copy of your drivers license. Why in the world would they need a copy of that to send you a gift? You showed your ID when you showed up for the seminar. They know who you are. Sounds to me like an identity theft gimmick. Also...my gift was long longer an Android tablet but some cheap 4" knockoff! Needless to say; I won't be claiming it and will be telling everyone I know not to deal with GlobalVacations, SimplyGreatGifts and TJ Johnson and Associates.

I didn't want to go, knew it was a scam...didn't want to argue with my other half. So we wasted the time and listen to the speaker who pretends not to be the head of the scheme, but he is... over the required 90 minutes. After which you are railroaded into the sellers lair. Have we not all seen this on on any news report...dateline...or any poor-poor me, they took all my money, story...yes we have!
I will give them this...they had the foresight to put up artwork and printed/framed pictures to look like an established business...did anyone else notice there was not a speck of dust on these embellishments?! I did!
So, then you sit down with the "sales" person, who is hover over by his management team...to make sure he doesn't let you leave! Even offering for you to look up their amazing company with "their" computers... Well, I can minimize crap on my computer I don't want to come up too. Of course it will be all "good" reports! Oh, then when you finally think their going to "let" you leave...they have to print out their incentives directions...whose printer really takes that long?
For all who have not went...If it is a good deal now...it'll should be a good deal tomorrow . Use your common sense, , , budget your own vacation or whatever their lastest scam might be...formally known direct buy pushers...
April 11, 2013 8pm session...for the guys who ran the circus...you know who I am...and know I could do a better job than all of you combined I wouldn't even have to bribe with fake and broken incentives...kisses!

I attended this joke of a seminar in Orlando, Fl.. Pressure was unbelievable and left without them getting a cent. Submitted required info and when I called today, (May 3rd) I was told that they never received the required information. Was told, should of sent it registered mail, therefore nothing can be done about it (my loss). This is one of the worst scams and ripoffs going right now. Do not get sucked into this.

We attended the Cleveland OH seminar on Feb 2, 2013 and the 90 minutes presentation turned into almost 3 hours of saying "No Thanks". Three different sales agents and their manager persisted. Sent in the required documentation with the photo ID and waited 3 months. Called on May 7, 2013 and the clerk said they never received the required information. In my opinion, she read from a well rehearsed script. "There is nothing that they could do. Your gifts are "Voided" because we have received no documentation. Sorry for "Your Loss"! THIS IS DEFINITE A SCAMS! Do not waste your time or energy. Shame on you T.J. Johnson and Associates and Simple Greats Gifts...shame on you! Cleveland city should be Better Than This!

WOW. We too drove to Independence, Ohio on Wednesday, May 15, 2013. What a professional SCAM this turned out to be. Looking back now, I am so glad I said NO. It all started with a letter I received in the mail offering me a Android Tablet and a choice of a airline travel or cruise travel. Curious, I convinced my other half to go. We get there, sat down, watched America's Funniest Videos. 8:00 pm came and the presentation began with Matt. He talked about savings and showed us his children enjoying their vacation. I have to say, it was a very nice presentation. After he told us the Promotional Price of $9, 900...a slew of sales associates come in the room and one by one start calling out couples names and take them to their assigned tables. Our rep was trying so desperately to get us to sign. After a numerous NO thank you's, Matt comes over to go from $9, 900 to $2, 900. Really? We told them again NO and our rep went to get us our certificate. By then it was 10:30 pm. He brought us our certificate telling us to wait 24 hours - giving them time to enter their data. We waited until today to Friday, May 17, 2013 to enter our certificate #, pin # - whatever! I could not bring up this site. I found this site. Thank GOD we did not give them any credit card information. I only wish I found this site prior to wasting my time listening to this SCAM. Looking back...I offered to hook them up with dear friends who do take vacations all the time and they did not want their names, they wanted us. Again, GOD was looking out for us. WE DID NOT SIGN UP. I wonder if the people that did sign up that night (and there were a number of couples who did) did get their gifts. Still wondering...are there 2 gift certificates - the ones who said YES and the ones who said NO?

Infinity Incentives is not affiliated in any way with Simply Great Gifts. We are not the organization that gave the presentation. We are simply a third party company that fulfills the promotional offers that are provided as a result of attending the presentation. We also do not host or control the website Simplygreatgifts.com at which certificates are registered.

We had the same experience as all the above complainants. It has been nearly 3 months since listening to their very high pressure sales pitch, following all of their instructions to receive the gifts, at least 6 phone calls and numerous promises to "send it right out". Still no gift. DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS COMPANY!!! It all appears to be a scam.
